Time for genealogical research. First to check the Leeds Catholic registers of baptisms, for my granddad and his siblings (baptised Catholic due to their Irish Mum). Then Scotland, and Melrose, to browse the 19th century communion rolls, and figure out when my maternal ancestors moved into the town. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Leeds #Melrose #WestYorkshire #Roxburghshire #ScottishBorders #historicalResearch #Catholic #ChurchOfScotland #Kirk #BaptismRegisters #CommunionRolls #Ireland #Migration
